Fox News’ Peter Doocy confirmed the news Thursday afternoon that Pam Bondi was out as attorney general, reporting that he had just spoken to President Donald Trump on the phone, adding that there was “no bad blood” about her leaving and she would be put in another government role. In a post on Truth Social, the president himself later contradicted that last claim by revealing she would be moving into the private sector.
Rumors had been circulating for weeks that Trump was unhappy with Bondi’s work as AG for multiple reasons, but especially her handling of the Epstein files. Earlier this month, Bondi had back-to-back appearances before congressional committees on the topic of the deceased child sex predator that were widely viewed as a disaster.
The chatter about Bondi’s imminent ouster spiked Wednesday evening, and Thursday morning, Fox News reported that she had already been informed she was being fired, and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche would step into the role.
America Reports anchor Sandra Smith introduced Doocy, asking him what he was hearing about what was “the main frustration of President Trump’s when it came to Pam Bondi,” adding that the president was “obviously making it very clear the relationship was still intact but he no longer wanted her to run the place.”
Replied Doocy:
Sandra, I can tell you that I phoned President Trump to ask him, once these reports started coming out that the attorney general had been told that her time — it was nearing the end of her time of the Justice Department, and the president said he was preparing some remarks. We think it’s going to be the official announcement about the Attorney General Bondi leaving the Justice Department. She will not be leaving the administration. They are going to find a different job for her.
So President Trump thinks she did a good job. President Trump still likes her. But, at this time, he feels like Todd Blanche should be elevated in an interim role. So the plan — at least as of the last couple minutes, and a lot of things are changing — is to name Todd Blanche in an interim role as the country’s top law enforcement officer, running the Justice Department.
We are hearing a lot of different things about why this might happen. We think President Trump will elaborate on that more.
But when you talk to people here at the White House it is very important to them, just to reiterate, that there is not bad blood right now with Bondi leaving. And we know that she was in the front row at the president’s remarks last night during his address to the nation. So she is somebody that he still wants to have around, but he wants Todd Blanche, who has been with the president during some of the hardest times of his political life, when he was dealing with all of these many, many lawsuits during the four years in between his first term and his second term, Todd Blanche was right there with him fighting on the president’s defense, legal defense.
And now Todd Blanche gets a crack — at least temporarily — as the Attorney General of the United States.
